Participating in the Cruz Fresno workplace giving campaign is a powerful way to impact your community directly. Through United Way, you can contribute to vital local initiatives that promote education, financial stability, and health services while making it easy for you to give with payroll deductions or one-time gifts. Every dollar donated not only supports our mission but also can be matched by your employer, amplifying your impact even further.
Donating a vehicle is another impactful option for those looking to give back. When you donate your automobile, it can go directly to Cruz Fresno or any agency we support, making a difference in the lives of those in need. You'll receive a 1098-C for tax purposes, and your contribution can be recognized both at the workplace and within the community, emphasizing your commitment to positive change.
